It is vintage fur yes.

I'm not gonna go further into any discussions about genuine fur here though. It's not the place to do that.

 

[foreverandnone]

who said anything about more discussion?

 

[emailme.]

i think caroule just wants to avoid heading down a debate on vintage fur.

 

[caroulemapoule]

Yeah, I was. I don't want to change the topic of this thread, since it's not made for fur discussion. And I said it because of your "I hope so" part of your comment.

I once bought an angora knit in H&M that I have gotten a million compliments for:

Apparently she has a big sister Ahh, so comfy and warm. I could tell right away that she was coming home with me, but I need to get sixe xs instead though

Also got a black puff shoulder knit from H&M...and a wine red sweater from Gina. Gorgeous colour, the knit isn't anything special apart from that

Oh, and I got this one on sale

Thanks!! I loved the Maje one too, but I'm not able to pay that much atm. I paid around $200 including shipping for this one, so that's the best I can do right now. I'm going in for some winter boots instead, since I moved I cannot have it all anymore.

I love your watch! it was the one that came out in black once too, right?

I didn't want to pay that much for the Maje last year, either, so I thought about it for a while, and before I could decide, it sold out, and I wasn't able to find a suitable alternative. I really wish I had just gone for it now, though, even though it would have required me to give up on several other purchases at the time. I think I might start looking on eBay for a great vintage find like yours.

Thanks for the compliment on the watch - it comes in a whole rainbow of colors, including black.

Yeah, I know that feeling - that was what I did back in the days with my Chloé susan boots. But I ended up getting them afterall, I always seem to. Luckily! And about the fur, I hope it's AWESOME when it arrives, I expect it to be at least, so I hope I won't be disappointed!

Do they still make it in black? And where can I get them?

 

[rochasfille]

^They do! I got mine from shopbop, but they don't have the black. Net-a-porter does, though.

And I'm positive your fur will be amazing when it arrives. I know mine will come someday - things always find their way to me sooner or later, like they do for you.

caroule - the jacket is lovely! I hope it arrives in tip top condition. That is the only problem with vintage fur - it has to be really well taken care of, or it cracks. I bought a really lovely vintage rabbit fur jacket a couple years ago in amazing condition, and it now has rips in the sleeve and holes near the pocket from very very delicate and minor use just because the leather/fur has dried out and made it very easy to 'break' so to speak.

Thanks, Meg! So do I. My friend bought a creme mink last year, it cracked too, we glued it together though, but it's definitely not as if it had been taken good care off. And it's sooo pretty, so it's sad.

Givenchy Play Intense for Her

Although I love the scent, I have to admit that it was the packaging that really made this one a must-buy for me.
